Chapter 422: Chapter 237: Vespa-type Genetically Modified People

"Have the nobles who came to consort arrived?" Gu Shanhai looked gravely at the scattered limbs and fragmented bodies not far away.

People had indeed arrived, just a bit... in pieces.

Finding a single person might not be an issue, patch them up with some spare parts and you’re good to go, but finding someone whole was an ask too far for Gu Shanhai.

"Great God... what do we do now, everyone’s dead." Hualou Chun also looked helpless, and that settled it, the Holy Kingdom’s upper echelon completely collapsed, not even leaving anyone for him to manage.

The nobles in the Royal Capital had long been executed by Gu Shanhai under various pretexts, their houses ransacked in the process—no one was left.

The nobles who came to consort had deaths that were, well, minutely related to Gu Shanhai. Now, countless Vespa-type genetically modified people swarmed the Royal Capital, each more ferocious than the last.

These nobles had barely shown their faces when they were discovered. By the time Gu Shanhai and the remaining two teammates realized it, it was already a scene of complete disarray, leaving them to craft an intact person by their own hands.

"I can’t do anything about it either, it’s easy to break down into parts, can’t really put them back now." Gu Shanhai sighed. He hadn’t anticipated things would turn out this way. Then he added, "Catching a rabbit for the New Year, it’s the new year with it, and still the new year without it."

Anyhow, they had already predicted that the nobles would be torn apart by the Demon King Army. Turns out, they didn’t die but successfully made it here. Obviously, they must’ve avoided confrontation along the way, only to end up at the hands of the Vespa-type genetically modified people.

These Vespa-type genetically modified people weren’t actually that powerful. The template used was a concoction of Qi Refining Body Cultivation Gene Potion mixed with flesh synthesis technology. Their average strength wasn’t high, only typical Transcendents.

"Forget it, let’s stick to the original plan, fight our way out, turn everyone into temporary summoned creatures, and forget about recruiting people. That should count as ruling over the entire Holy Kingdom." Gu Shanhai made a final decision, a rather reluctant one at that. If the nobles were alive, they could control them, then raid their homes.

Otherwise, these sly nobles would be all over the place—who knew what hidden chambers or treasuries they might have. By exploiting the nobles to plunder them, Gu Shanhai could uncover the real wealth of the nobility, not just what lay on the surface.

Who better to understand the nobles than the nobles themselves? This tactic was akin to using "their own spear against their own shield."

The main problem in this world was the existence of Transcendents; otherwise, they would just kill and plunder, which would save a lot of trouble.

"Great God, what kind of skill system is this temporary summoning of yours? I’m getting rather envious. Can I grind for one too?" Hualou Chun, looking at the multitude of Vespa-type genetically modified people under Gu Shanhai’s control, wanted some for himself. Mainly because they were too handy. He wouldn’t insist on the complete set but cobbling together the core skills, he would be content with creating a dozen or so.

"You mean this? You need Bio-Technology Mastery LV10, Gene Technology Mastery LV10 as prerequisites, then Potion Mixology LV5, Gene Sequencing LV5, Biological Fusion Technology LV5, Insect Mastery LV5, Fleshcraft Technology LV5, Energy Mastery LV3, and some other various skills depending on what you need to combine. Once you have these skills and reach the required levels, you can combine your own Vespa-type genetically modified potion," explained Gu Shanhai, revealing the necessary skills and levels to replicate his Vespa-type genetically modified people.

Upon hearing it involved a combination of skills, Hualou Chun’s interest waned. He thought it was just a simple lifestyle skill to create a Vespa-type gene potion, which he could have taken on as a side hustle, but a large combination of skills made it far too complex. Plus, appropriate blueprints were essential, or even with the right skills and levels, you couldn’t make it.

Grinding out a set of skills wasn’t an issue; the real challenge lay in leveling them up. For instance, Insect Mastery, a skill with its own set of prerequisites, entailed an enormous amount of Game Coins. For Hualou Chun to learn a completely new set for such an effect was like burdening himself with an additional skill system.

He wasn’t much surprised Gu Shanhai had such a set of skills; as a Master of Aura, he obviously couldn’t just settle for being a support. Otherwise, what would he do if all his teammates died?

With this set of skills, he could complete missions by himself without any teammates. Each skill in this system wasn’t standalone; every one could enhance such temporary summoned creatures.

"We truly don’t understand the world of a great God..." Tao Hua Xiao expressed his admiration for Gu Shanhai, who was adept at aura skills, specialized in healing, and still had time for summoning abilities.

He and his spouse struggled for Game Coins just for their Radiant Knight system, far from matching Gu Shanhai. His healing abilities were unclear to them, but the summoning type was indeed formidable, not to mention aura.

They knew why Gu Shanhai could afford such wealth; the looting from the intermediate areas alone could provide a massive windfall for them.

Had it been possible to add him as a friend, they both would have wished their whole family could cling to Gu Shanhai’s sturdy legs.

"What’s there to not understand? We’re poor too, just with slightly better professions, better skills, better gear, better talents, higher combat power, and so forth," Gu Shanhai casually remarked, stating plain facts.
